The inclusion of urine in a witch's bottle (for protection against
witches) is ancient. I think it arises out of a "territory marking"
mind-set, not directing anything against one's own self.
If you really have a phobia about urine, try ammonia.

red pepper, black pepper, and sulphur are typical in the
African-American witch bottle tradition,but not found on the purely
British witch bottles.
